MBP does not wake after closing lid

MBP does not wake a when I open the lid,

I have the same problem.
In Leopard I could hit esc a couple of times and it would restore the display. In Lion no matter what I try nothing works except a total power down and reboot.
I can hear the hard drive searching around but no screen.

  • Macbook air does not sleep after closing the lid or putting into sleep

    I've searched the message boards and external sites for answers and even spoke to Apple support.  I'm so frustrated because it affects my work everyday.  Its a 2013 Macbook Air running 10.9.2 and file vault.  I close the lid or force into sleep mode and the system stays on even though the display goes dark.  I travel alot so it goes into my briefcase and by morning its dead.  I have turned off bluetooth devices, reset the SMC, have no external devices connected other than a thunderbolt monitor, booted into safe mode and followed every suggestion out there.  Apple support person said he's never seen this before which is ridiculous because there are so many cases I have read about including Apple Support Communities.  Does anyone have any experience with this?

  • IPhone 3G after iOS 4 does not wakes after Lock or auto lock.

    Hi,
    I have an iPhone 3G (not S), I upgraded it to iOS 4.0 on Tuesday June 22.
    it took around 2-3 hours for the whole process, but it all workd out fine.
    Now I have two issues, one major one minor.
    Major issue:
    Every time I lock my phone, by using the (sleep/wake button), or if the phone gets auto locked, and if I leave it for a minute or so. I cannot wake it up by pressing the Home menu button (the round button in front). The only way to bring it back to life is to hard boot the phone by pressing the sleep/wake button and the Home menu button together for 10 second. This boots the os back to life, takes around 1-2 minutes. While the phone is inactive, if I make a call to it, on the calling side I hear the ring tone, but the phone lies dead like a stone. So no incomingcalls or SMS, while the phone is in this state, and the caller thinks I am not picking it up.
    So far I am avoiding problems by not locking the phone at all, but that is eating up my battery.
    Minor problem: as many have mentioned earlier also, it has gone too slow. And a substantially short battery life, accompanied by unusual heating.
    Tried restoring the phone using iTunes 9.2, I am hitting 1602 error there, so tried restoring in the "Recovery mode", it worked fine, but the problems persists.
    Another thing I noticed was that I can never switch off the phone too.
    Every time I press and hold the sleep/wake button and initiate the Power off mode, either of the two things happen.
    1) The circular star loading animation starts, gets stuck a some point, and suddenly the phone boots back to life after some time.
    2) The circular star animation continues, for hours, untill the phone runs out of battery and dies out itself.
    So far I have'nt seen a clean shut down after the upgrade.
    what to do....

    Anyone that can help me with this issue?
    thnx.

    These are good news but could you please post a short instruction how you have solved this? I think it would be interesting for other users here in the forum!

  • Tecra M7: Tablet does not work after lid closing

    Has anyone had problems with the tablet not working after closing the lid on a Tecra M7? Bios is 3.20
    Doesn't seem to happen on hibernate or sleep.
    I have the lid set to do nothing on close.

    Hi
    What do you mean with tablet not working after closing the lid?
    Does the notebook freezes or what?? What happens exactly???
    The close the lid settings can be set to hibernation mode or standby mode or no action.
    These settings can be set in the power saver setup actions.
    If you have some problems with some installed Toshiba applications I would recommend reinstalling the TOSHIBA Common Modules and the program which doesnt run correctly!
    Best regards

  • After Thunderbolt Firmware upgrade display in target mode does not wake up from screensaver

    Hi!
    I have a MacBook Pro 2011 (Snow Leopard) connected to an iMac 2011 (Lion) via Thunderbolt. The iMac runs in display target mode.
    Last night I update the Thunderbolt firmware on both systems via SW update. Now I have the problem, that the iMac display does not wake up from screensaver mode when I enter the password to unlock the MBP blind (the iMac screen is the main display).
    I have to do cmd-F2 twice (do disable and enable) target display mode to get it back to life.
    This worked fine before the Thunderbolt updates.
    Does anybody else have that problem?
    Thanks!
    Hank

    I have a 2.2Ghz Macbook Core 2 Duo system purchased in December 2007. I have 2GB RAM installed.
    My system has developed a weird problem where it won't come out of sleep ... 100% of the time now.
    I've tried resetting PRAM/NVRAM, resetting the power module and even reinstalled Leopard. Nothing has helped. I'm at my wit's end.
    When I put my system into sleep mode, it goes into sleep mode as you would expect. However, when I wake the system (by opening the lid or pressing any key), the system looks as though it's come out of sleep (ie. there's a picture of desktop) and I can move my mouse but I can't click anything. I can't Cmd-Opt-Esc either. I have to perform a hard-reset at that point.
    I have quit all other applications to try to isolate the problem and I'm beginning to think it's either Leopard or my MacBook. Either way, it's annoying as **.
    Has anyone come up with a way to fix this? Doesn't seem like I'm the only one.
    Thanks,
    Chris

  • New MBP i5 does not boot after hard disk swap

    Hi there,
    I received my new i5 MBP today. After booting it once with the installed HDD to check if it's ok, I exchanged the hard disk for the one in my Late 2008 Macbook Pro. After doing this, my Late 2008 Macbook Pro boots fine with the (new) hard disk from the new i5 MBP, but the i5 MBP does not boot with my old hard disk.
    To give you some details:
    - I have installed 10.6.3 on the (old) hard disk that's not booting.
    - The i5 MBP boots fine from the installation DVD
    - Disk utility finds and can read my hard disk, no errors
    - PRAM NVRAM reset did not help
    - when booting in safe mode, I can see the system stop booting after or while loading Extensions.mkext
    My guess is, it tries to boot and load the wrong Extensions for the new system (CPU? GPU?). I have no idea how to fix this.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    Focx,
    Welcome to Apple Discussions.
    Inserting the drive from an earlier model MBP will probably not work. The version of the system you have on that HD is designed for earlier hardware so when you put in in your new machine it's going to be recognized. What I'd recommend is re-installing the disk that came with the new machine and of course putting the 2008's disk back in the old machine. Then use Migration Assistant on the new machine and migrate your data from the old machine into the new machine.
    This will provide a much more stable system and should work just fine.
    Regards,
    Roger

  • TS4080 apple thunderbolt display image on display intermittently goes dark, does not wake from sleep after clicking mouse or keyboard, but there is "bonk" sound after clicking mouse or pressing keys. Rebooting by pressing the power button resolves issue.

    My apple thunderbolt display (which I purchased 1.5 years ago; OS 10.7.5 Mac Mini) intermittently goes dark, does not wake from sleep after clicking mouse or keyboard, but there is "bonk" sound after clicking mouse or pressing keys, so am thinking it is a hardware problem with the display. Rebooting by pressing the power button turns the screen back on, but the same phenomenon has occurred several times. Could this be a software issue, or do I need to have my display repaired? Your feedback would be appreciated.

    Hi ED, tough to tell, but it does sound like it's waking with the bonk, just not displaying.
    Long shot but...
    I wonder if it's a variation of this, of which I've seen many different symptoms...
    Resolution
    Move the mouse or trackpad cursor over the center area of the login window so you can see the user icons. Click on the icon of the user that you would like to login as, type in the user's password, and press Return.
    If the login window is configured to show only the name and password fields, type in the user's name and password into the fields, and press Return (even if you cannot see the rest of the login window).
    Additional Information
    This issue will not occur if the display is not sleeping when the account is logged out. Use the steps below to confirm that the account is not configured to log out automatically while the display is sleeping:
        1.    Open System Preferences > Security & Privacy > General.  Click the padlock to unlock the preference pane and enter your admin password. Click the Advanced button at the bottom, then see if the option "Log out after N minutes of inactivity" (where N is the number of minutes) is enabled.
        2.    Open System Preferences > Energy Saver and configure Display Sleep to occur after the account is logged out, by dragging the slider to a number of minutes that is greater than N was set to in the previous step.
    Important: If automatic log out is not needed, disable "Log out after Nminutes of inactivity" in System Preferences > Security & Privacy > General. This will also prevent the issue.

  • 10.8.5: External Harddisk does not wake up with iMac after standby

    After upgrade my iMac 27 early 2013 to 10.8.5 my external USB 3 harddisk (for TimeMachine Backup) does not wake up when my iMac wakes up from standby. The external disk is unmounted and a error message apears.

    Any hints?

    Hmm... I've had this macbook for a while now (?? a year maybe ??) and about 2 months ago I started having this exact issue, close lid to sleep returning it would not wake and a hard reset (hold power for 5+ seconds) is required.
    I too discovered such links as this and also the older (also unanswered):
    http://discussions.info.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=8690782
    But as others have said there doesn't appear to be a solution?
    RESET THE SMC (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964) does appear to work, however the issue returns again after a few days or weeks... I cannot find anything that guarantees to return the issue it just starts happening again after a while.
    The battery appears to be in okay condition, although I think it might run down a little faster now days than when I first bought it, but I assume this is to be expected.
    I also had suffered from what sounds like an issue with wifi weirdness - signal would drop to 0% suddenly, no longer "see" the wifi hub that it has been using forever (although it still, randomly, sees other nearby hubs) for no apparent reason, and that kind of thing - all these times the only solutions that have worked have been to stuff around with the wifi hub turing off extas, flipping from "Auto" to a specific Number (1 to 13) and turning on (OR OFF!) Mixed B/G to just B OR G... very strange... and random.
    The only things I've changed recently are, upgraded to snow leopard (from leopard) and got an external display. But I cannot say if the incidents coincided or not, as I didn't realise the sleep/wake issue was an issue for a while, as the first few times I just thougth "Oh, something weirds happened... Reset..." and didnt' really think too much about it until it happened for the 3rd or 4th time and I could see there was a pattern...
    The external monitor via minidisplay port adaptor i got from teh apple store.
    I don't use it with the machine closed or external keyboard/mouse, although I've heard you can do this, I use the monitor as a secondary display when I'm at the desk, the rest of the time I just use it as I have always done.
    I would love to see a solution to this, I guess I could try warranty, but I dunno if the issue is warranty "level"...?

  • MBP will not wake up from Sleep

    Hi,
    I installed Leopard successfully on Friday, and since then, my computer does not wake up from sleep about 50% of the time.
    When I open the lid to attempt to wake it up, I hear the normal CD drive clicking sound (not the best way to describe the sound, but I don't know how else haha), but the screen just remains black. I cannot tell however, if it is a) waking up and the screen is remaining black or b) not waking up at all. The only way to remedy this is to hard to a hard shut down with the power button and then to power back on.
    Anybody else experience this or know what could be causing this? I never had this problem with Tiger in the 5 months that I had it on my MBP.
    Thanks for the help!

    Just installed Leopard on my original 15" MacBook Pro 2.16 GHz Intel Core Duo. Last night, I had several applications open (Safari, Transmit, Timbuktu Pro) set up in separate Spaces. I closed the lid to put the machine to sleep. The sleep light was pulsing normally.
    This morning, when I opened the MBP, the screen came on ok showing the last Safari page I was on and the Airport Indicator showed that it re-connected to my wifi as normal. However, the cursor was scrambled (the was a vague set of dots but no arrow where the cursor should be). This "scrambled cursor" moved around the screen when I moved my finger on the trackpad but the computer did not respond to any mouse clicks or keyboard input. I tried commandoptionQ to force quit but no luck. Eventually I had to press & hold the power button to force a restart & the computer then started up normally.

  • Home button does not wake up iPod Touch

    Hey all,
    After the iPod screen turns off automatically after the preset idle time, pressing the "Home" button does not wake the device up from the first press; on some occasions it has to be pressed twice before the "Slide to unlock" screen appears.
    This is intermittent and I can't pin down how to accurately reproduce the issue, but it seems to happen randomly. I have never experienced an issue where the "Home" button didn't work when pressed during normal operation, so I don't think it is a hardware issue with the button itself. Note that I had this issue before updating the device to 3.1.2 as well.
    I have auto-lock set to 3 minutes, with Passcode Lock on.
    The device is the 32GB model MC008C, updated with the latest 3.1.2 (7D11) OS.
    Cheers

    sorry to reply and intrude here but i cannot for the love of god find he new thread button. (maybe a mod will move me please)
    I recently restored my iPod touch and i didn't really watch the restore. I know the loading bar on ipod was nearly at end. Anyways, 10-15mins later i go to use my ipod and clicking the home button nothing displays.
    I then try to turn on, yet nothing. So googling, i left the battery to completely drain if there is any.
    I plug my ipod into my computer and nopthing happens, it does not wake up(turn on) or even charge. I have tried an Iphone wall charger, yet no response from my ipod touch as well.
    So i kept googling and i found out about some DFU mode, there was lots of different combinations on the web, i tried them all, yet my ipod does not respon. No noises, notifications or anything in itunes(if itunes closed, does not open up!)
    It has now been a good few days since it stopped working, and i cannot think is there anymore to do. It is still in warranty for a few months.
    Only problem is, i do not think i;m entitled to phone support, and the nearest genius for me is hours away.
    PS: my iPod touch was restored to version 3.2 (latest version if thats wrong <!-- )
    I have itunes 9.1
    Running windows 7 rc
    I have tried my ipod also on the following:
    My dual boot vista, another computer with vista and a Mac Pro.
    Can anyone suggest anything or help me please?
    Thanks in advance,
    Malcom

  • Lenovo 11s- Screen Does Not Wake Up From Sleep

    My Lenovo Yoga 11s does not wake up after putting it to sleep. I will press the power button multiple times, but the screen stays black. To turn it on I have to press the power button for 10 seconds so it completely shuts off, then I push the power button to turn it on. However when I do this all my tabs and windows are closed, which is very inconvenient.

  • HT201150 macbook air 11" 2013 does not wake from sleep mode. Any ideas?

    Since I have changed my macbook air, I had started to have these issues. This is my third macbook air11" and until this one all was fine.All of a sudden I started to have the sleep/wake problem. Oce the lid is closed, it goes to sleep and does not wake up or the battery needs to be charged pops out and I have to charge for 10 minutes and find out that I already have 80-90% battery power. Also the apps open up, but the windows get lost( mail is open, but no window to read the mails) The genius bar checked the laptop twice and finally changed it , but nothing else changed in my life. All the issues are the same, and even getting worse. Just a minute ago, I even lost the WiFi. "There is no hardware message appeared!! Anyone for any ideas?

    You're welcome... here's hoping it's not a hardware issue but this test will elimnate any suspicions.
    You could also check the startup disk for errors.
    Insert Installer disk and Restart, holding down the "C" key until grey Apple appears.
    Go to Installer menu (Panther and earlier) or Utilities menu (Tiger and later) and launch Disk Utility.
    Select your HDD (manufacturer ID) in the left panel.
    Select First Aid in the Main panel.
    (Check S.M.A.R.T Status of HDD at the bottom of right panel. It should say: Verified)
    Click Repair Disk on the bottom right.
    If DU reports disk does not need repairs quit DU and restart.
    If DU reports errors Repair again and again until DU reports disk is repaired.
    When you are finished with DU, from the Menu Bar, select Utilities/Startup Manager.
    Select your start up disk and click Restart
